Nothing is known of
Sir Ascamore's background. He was a Knight
of the Round Table who fought for King
Arthur during the anti-tribute wars against Rome, when he was
wounded by the King of Libya in Gaul. In later years, he was one of those
who joined Sir
Mordred's conspiracy to catch Sir
Lancelot and Queen Guinevere in
flagrante delicto. When they were successful, Ascamore was, unfortunately,
killed by Lancelot outside the Queen's bedchamber.
